Definitions

  • Machine tool with an electromagnet for attachment to a ferromagnetic workpiece with a switching device with at least two switching states, a working state in which the electromagnet and a drive device of the machine tool are activated, and a holding state in which the electromagnet, but not the drive device is activated, and means by which the current of the electromagnet in the holding state is reduced with respect to the current of the electromagnet in the working state.
  • Such a machine tool is from the DE 31 00 933 C2 known.
  • machine tools are usually to power tools, in particular drills, which can be fixed by means of a magnetic stator to the workpiece to be machined from ferromagnetic material.
  • power tools in particular drills
  • Such machine tools are used, for example, when working on power pylons, in steel construction, when working on supports, etc., e.g. to create holes where you have to work with high torque.
  • the machine tool mentioned above has a base plate in which an electromagnetic coil is provided for fastening a drill stand when the coil is excited on the workpiece.
  • the coil is driven via a switching arrangement, responsive to the magnetic flux of the coil, the power supply to the machine tool in the absence of a predetermined magnetic flux density interrupting switches are provided.
  • the electromagnet can heat up significantly during prolonged work, especially when in the implementation of a variety of machining operations of the solenoid constantly remains switched on because the machine tool between the individual processing operations can not be removed or removed only with great effort. If a larger number of Machining operations is necessary, such machine tools often remain even several days or weeks on a workpiece, the electromagnet must remain constantly turned on during this time to ensure the fixation on the workpiece. This is associated with a significant energy consumption.
  • a motor control for an electromagnetic tool in which a magnetizable base member can be switched to a small magnetic flux holding state and a high magnetic flux working state.
  • a resistor limits the magnetic flux, whereas the resistance to the working state is shorted.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art, in particular, the energy consumption should be reduced as possible.
  • the holding force is completely sufficient to ensure a secure positioning of the machine tool on the workpiece, in particular during work interruptions.
  • the full holding torque of the electromagnet must be available only in working condition.
  • the electromagnet is fed from an AC voltage source in the hold state via a half-wave rectifier, while the electromagnet is energized in the working state via a full-wave rectifier.
  • the electromagnet in the hold state is driven only with a half-wave of the rectified AC voltage, while in the working state on the full-wave rectifier both half-waves are used to supply the electromagnet with pulsating DC voltage.
  • the second half-wave is used to apply the full holding power as a safety reserve during this time.
  • the rectifier is expediently designed as a bridge rectifier, wherein the electromagnet is connected between the positive pole and the negative pole of the bridge rectifier and in a branch of the bridge rectifier, a switch for switching between working position and holding position is provided.
  • the electromagnet is fed from an AC voltage source via a Brükken Eisenrichter, the bridge rectifier on the input side, a diode is connected upstream and a switch for bridging the diode is provided in the working state.
  • Such an embodiment is advantageous when a bridge rectifier is used as a complete component, so that the insertion of a switch for switching between working position and holding position in a branch of the bridge rectifier is not possible.
  • only one half-wave can be used by connecting the diode, while both half-waves are used in bridging the diode.
  • the electromagnet consists of a plurality of individual magnets, wherein in the holding state, only a portion of the individual magnets is subjected to voltage which is smaller than the plurality of individual magnets, which are acted upon in the working state with voltage.
  • Another way to reduce the current through the electromagnet in the holding state is to apply the electromagnet in the hold state only via a series resistor with voltage.
  • the series resistor can be bypassed in the working state.
  • an electrical or electronic control element can be provided, via which the electromagnet is operated in the holding state with a reduced current.
  • Fig. 1 is a circuit for an electromagnet according to the invention for attaching a machine tool to a ferromagnetic workpiece indicated generally by the numeral 10.
  • the electromagnet 30 is fed via a bridge rectifier 20 from an AC voltage source 12, 14.
  • the bridge rectifier 20 has four diodes 22, 24, 26, 28, which are connected in a known manner to the bridge rectifier circuit 20.
  • the electromagnet 30 is connected at its two ends between the negative pole 32 and the positive pole 34 of the bridge rectifier 20. While one AC terminal of the bridge rectifier 20 is directly connected to the supply voltage pole 14, the other is AC power connection of the bridge rectifier 20 via an on / off switch 16 connected to the supply voltage pole 12. While the other terminal of the on / off switch 16 is connected directly to the anode of the diode 26, leading to the negative terminal 32 of the bridge rectifier 20 diode 22 is connected via a further on / off switch 18 to the on / off switch 16. Both switches 16, 18 together form a switching device, which is designated by the letter S.
  • the circuit 10 now works as follows:
  • the switching device S has a total of three switching states, which are due to the positions of the switches 16, 18.
  • a first switching state of the switching device S is the off state, which is present when the switch 16 is in the OFF position, so that the bridge rectifier 20 and the electromagnet 30 are de-energized.
  • a second switching state of the switching device S is the holding state, which is present when the switch 16 is in the ON position and the switch 18 is in the OFF position.
  • a third switching state of the switching device S is the working state, which results when both switches 16, 18 are closed.
  • the diode 22 of the bridge rectifier 20 is supplied with voltage, so that another branch of the bridge rectifier 20 is supplied with power, the is given by the path through the switches 16, 18, the diode 22, the electromagnet 30 and the diode 28, so that the bridge rectifier 20 is now fully utilized and the solenoid 30 is fed from a full-wave rectifier, ie that both half-waves of the supply voltage used become.
  • switch 18 can of course also be installed in another branch of the bridge rectifier 20.
  • Such a circuit 10 can be used for a machine tool, which is to be held with a magnetic base on a ferromagnetic workpiece (not shown).
  • the electromagnet 30 is in a near-surface arrangement, so that when current through the electromagnet 30, the machine tool is attracted with its magnetic base to a ferromagnetic workpiece, so as to position the machine tool and hold in the working position.
  • machine tool is designed as a power tool
  • another drive e.g. equipped with a pneumatic drive
  • the circuit 10 according to the invention has the advantage that the power consumption of the electromagnet 30 is reduced in the holding state compared to the power consumption of the electromagnet 30 in the working state by about 50%, since only one half-wave of the AC voltage is used in the holding state, while both half-waves are used in the working state , This leads to a significantly lower heating of the electromagnet 30, which is particularly noticeable in continuous operation. Likewise results in a drastic reduction in energy consumption, since the power consumption in the hold state is reduced by about 50%. Nevertheless, even in the holding state due to the magnetization curve of the core material of the electromagnet 30, a holding force of about 75% of the holding force of the electromagnet 30 in the working state.
  • This value in the hold state is sufficient to accurately position the machine tool in question before a work on the workpiece or hold between different operations on the workpiece. Only during the machining process itself, the full magnetic flux of the electromagnet 30 is necessary to have a sufficient safety margin against a release from the workpiece or against slipping due to the machining forces available.

  • the motor switch 18 is used to turn on / off the motor 42, at the same time hereby the switching of the electromagnet 30 between holding state and working state.
  • FIG. 3 Another modification of the machine tool 40 according to Fig. 2 is in Fig. 3 represented and designated in total by the numeral 50.
  • the only difference to the execution according to Fig. 2 is that instead of a single-pole motor switch 18 now a two-pole motor switch 18, 19 is provided.
